To recreate the trio of balloons card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Using Post It tape I masked off a 1½” strip on the Thick Basic White card front. A Blending Brush was used to apply Balmy Blue ink in the negative space on the card front.

With the Post It mask still in place I stamped the ‘ground’ image from the In The Grove stamp set across the bottom in Gray Granite ink. The masking strips were then peeled off.

The sentiment, from the Encircled in Nature stamp set was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto the Thick Basic White card front. Sadly, I stamped it squint…….. so I stamped it again in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Basic White card and glued it over the mistake!
